Scientific method lab



On your team page, create a heading called M&M lab. Discuss your question and procedure, create a data table, show your results in a graph (analysis), and create a conclusion. Come to a consensus for the definitions that were at the beginning of the m&m lab and giver the definitions. Work on this as a group and SPLIT UP THE WORK.
